Where can I get a magnetic charger for a z1. Need one asap

[Mr.Bollywood]

@metalgear

As far as I know theres very few places that still locally check around chagaunas , chagaunas usually has some Sony accessories not sure if someone might have a magnetic charger



The obvious option is to bring it in bro if that's an option for you

[metalgear2095]

It's an option but right now my phone not charging from the USB unless plugged in car charger.

then i would check your electrical outlet, the charging adapter or the cable.

Guys with S5s... The fingerprint sensor is handy but a bit annoying due to the way it has to be swiped. So I'd like to have it there.. But have a timeout for it.. So I'd have my regular swipe to unlock screen but the fingerprint lock would only activate after a specified period of time. I saw that some s5s have a secured lock time period setting but mine doesn't... Anyone fixed this?

Other phone charges normally. It's not that. It's actually a fairly common issue with the z1.

well i had a similar problem and it turned out to be the cable. i bought the cable, it worked fine for a couple months and then stopped charging the fone. the cable would still charge my other devices. when i swapped the cable my fone charge normally. so i have a cable my fone dont like and wont charge or connect with all of a sudden.

[metalgear2095]

Tried three different chargers. None work. They all work on other phone

so i got a nexus 7....

this thing is small

ibthatswhatshesaid

afraid to buy a nexus 9 and get some defect and have to ship it back.
google really screwed up the nexus 9. that is built like sheit and costs too much.

[bluesclues]

well if u shutdown the fone and remove the battery and all that and it still wont charge then that is strange. if it charging in the car nothing wrong with ur usb connection tho. could still be software, charger amperage, or cable configuration. i still feel them 3 chargers have low amperage or something.

try this if the fone battery is not removable. power on with volume up and see if you could get a charging indicator light. leave it charging for a while and then reboot.

Tried a Samsung and Acatel charger today in work and they worked. Went radioshack tried one there and it work. Bought it. Come home and it's not working. Lol. Buying a new phone tomorrow or weekend for sure.
Tried that power and volume thing before. It used to work and now doesn't. It just makes battery drain faster now.

a nice el cheapo tablet that is 8.4" is the LG G pad. Also off and on, the samsung tab 8.4 or whatever goes on sale. But I agree. Those wanting a true clean android don't have much choice. I ear willing to rake out for that n9 nah. Up to now I am yet to find a perfect tablet on android.

I don't mind the price but with the nexus 9 it is not justified. I not paying premium price for sheit build quality

Yes. It's really disappointing. Lags, camera is terrible and it doesn't feel too snappy.

really... lol

i suppose you tried a different wall socket already? starting to sound like something wrong with yuh wiring? but i have a feeling that the charger will work in another building. if the chargers working elsewhere but just not home.. then is either your house wiring or time to see a pundit for the jumbie in your house that against charging z1s lol. j/k eh.. but yeah.. sockets or wiring most likely not even your fone.

Might be amps. Tried an ipad charger today and it seems to work. Crossing fingers it works when I get home.
If it was the house I'm guessing I'd have other problems as well. Something wrong with the USB too I think. It never connects to pc either

what kinda cable you using? sony original cable or some generic cable? i sure the usb will work with somebody else cable on their computer. i notice these devices can be finnicky about generic cables. some fones have special charging features and so have specially designed cables. anyway i think you will find the source of your problem soon. sounds to me like nothing wrong with the fone itself tho.

Hi guys I got a question. I have a Google Nexus 5, D820 (H) 32gb, when upgraded to 4.4.4 it couldn't mount cache or internal SD card, still can't, I tried flashing stock rom and fail, I tried flashing it manually in fastboot and failed, it's seems the entire system is now ready only , so I tried flashing a custom recovery and it actually flashed but it doesn't boot up and the bootloader, recovery and pretty much everything else returns too as stock every time the device is powered up, so the phone basically boots up as normal but the is no internals SD, and it's unable to mount cache

[ismithx]

what filesystem is the rom using, and does the kernel support it? you would have better luck asking on xda developers to find a solution

[InnovaTrends]

Everything is stock and Xda said the Emmc chip has gone bad which mean flash memory is lost

[ismithx]

*cringe* nothing we can do there
the only thing you can do is change the mainboard or sell the phone for parts

[InnovaTrends]

Where can I get a main board locally and for what price

[M_2NR]

Try contacting google first. Tell them the issue etc. They may/may not ask you to return it.
